Axios reporter and CNN contributor Alex Thompson detailed the Kamala Harris campaign’s latest snub of President Joe Biden on Tuesday morning, telling Kasie Hunt that Harris’s team doesn’t “believed that the president is helpful” to their cause.

After playing a clip of Biden voting early and telling reporters that it was a sweet, rather than bittersweet moment for him, Hunt asked Thompson to talk about his coverage of Harris’s stiff arm of Biden.

“I mean look, if they did want him [Biden] to campaign for her [Harris], he would be campaigning for her,” observed Hunt.

“Yes, and even when he campaigned in Pittsburgh on Saturday, the campaign sends out a daily email of all the surrogates — includes actors,  and actresses, and members of the cabinet — they did not mention that Joe Biden was going to be in Pittsburgh on Saturday, even in that email,” noted Thompson.

“So they just left the president of the United States off the list?” asked Hunt.

“They did. And they could claim oversight, but the fact of the matter is, they don’t believe that the president is helpful in this final stretch,” replied Thompson. “Now, Joe Biden and even some of the people on the Kamala Harris campaign, formerly of the Joe Biden campaign, believe that actually the Harris campaign is underestimating his appeal in some of these smaller communities. They understand he’s unpopular, but they still feel that he has appeal with some of these, you know, especially older voters, older White voters.”

“And they think they’re making a mistake. And that’s why you sort of see this, Like, you know, he [Biden] may say it was not bittersweet, but there’s definitely people around him that find it more bitter than sweet,” he concluded.

For Axios, Thompson has reported that “Harris’ team believes Biden is a political liability at a crucial time in the campaign — but is reluctant to directly say they don’t want him to campaign for her.”

“One person familiar with the situation compared it to a slow-moving break-up,” wrote Thompson. “Harris’ team and allies respect Biden’s service, but are wary of further tying Harris to the unpopular president on the campaign trail.”
